Question: My periods are not regular, and I feel pregnant, but my test is negative. How can I know for sure I'm not pregnant?
Great question! If you have irregular periods, determining if you are pregnant can be more challenging. Most women conceive when they ovulate approximately 14 days after the start of their period, but if your periods do not come every month, knowing when you ovulate can be tricky.
Watch For Pregnancy Symptoms
Women are good at knowing when they are pregnant, even if they don't have regular periods. If you have pregnancy symptoms such as breast tenderness, nausea, enhanced sense of smell, or fatigue and you have had unprotected sex, it's a good idea to keep checking a pregnancy test weekly until you get a period.
Pregnancy Tests Are (Usually) Trustworthy
The good news is that today's pregnancy tests are very sensitive and accurate. If your pregnancy test is negative, you can be reassured that you're mostly likely not pregnant. There is a possibility that you have an early pregnancy that is not yet producing enough hormone (HCG) in your urine to detect a pregnancy, but that is rare.
